Pretty funny. They haven't replaced a jury verdict with a single judge's verdict as I'd expect - they've just created a jury of judges, in other words a jury from an elite, specially selected caste.
The only constant in all this is that our institutions hate us. Remember that, if you're ever hearing info based on academia, law, science, medicine or 'democratic' systems any more.
